Atletico Madrid eyes Carlos Augusto, but Inter Milan say no

Sportitalia reports Atletico Madrid’s interest in Carlos Augusto, but new Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu sees the Brazilian as untouchable

Sportitalia, through transfer expert Gianluigi Longari, shares an important update regarding the Inter Milan transfer market involving Carlos Augusto. 

According to the report, Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid has shown serious interest in the Brazilian wing-back, formerly of Monza.

After failing in their pursuit of Theo Hernandez from AC Milan—who now appears destined to join Inzaghi’s Al Hilal—Atletico Madrid has turned its attention to Carlos Augusto. 

However, Longari reports that Cristian Chivu, newly appointed as Inter Milan head coach, considers the 25-year-old left-back non-transferable.

“There’s a behind-the-scenes story about Carlos Augusto: Atletico Madrid is interested, but with the coaching change, Inter Milan now sees him as untouchable,” said Longari.

It remains to be seen whether this interest will develop into a formal offer, and if Inter Milan’s stance will hold firm.

Who Is Carlos Augusto? From Monza gem to Inter Milan starter

Carlos Augusto, born in Campinas, Brazil, is a versatile left-sided defender who made a name for himself at Monza with his powerful runs, defensive solidity, and intelligent link-up play. 

Joining Inter Milan in 2023, he quickly established himself as a reliable option both as a left-back and as a wing-back in a 3-5-2 system. 

His ability to contribute offensively—thanks to a precise left foot and good crossing technique—adds significant value to the Nerazzurri setup.

Having been capped by Brazil’s U23 side, he is considered a player with room for growth and European-level potential. 

With Chivu at the helm, Inter Milan seems determined to hold onto him as a key part of their future.
